Bamboo Viscose Baby Diapers from Japan

Disposable baby diapers made primarily from bamboo viscose, an artificial fiber derived from regenerated cellulose, designed for absorbing moisture and preventing leaks. They fall under HTS 9619.00.43.00 as diapers of other textile materials specifically composed of artificial fibers, excluding paper or natural fibers. The soft, breathable top sheet and absorbent core are key features for infant use.
